OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

WELCOME TO PIR 11/20/2012

OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by SailorsMomShip12Div023 on October 12, 2012 at 8:32pm: FTLW: I know just frustrating when you are expecting something with no idea when you will get it.

jackflash: check pants pockets. When my sons box got here I couldn't find his phone either, he put it the pocket of his jeans! I didn't even get a piece of paper!

Comment by JackFlash on October 12, 2012 at 8:25pm: Got the box... but the mystery deepens. His cell phone and charger were not in it. They let him keep it there???

Has anyone ever heard of them letting them keep their phones for use after Boot Camp?

No PIR info either... just one piece of paper with a username and password--- no explanation of what it is for. Facebook?

Comment by Craig on October 12, 2012 at 7:01pm: For those in the Denver, Castle Rock, or Colorado Springs area:

Tomorrow we are having a meet & greet lunch in Castle Rock this Saturday, 10/13 at 11am. You are welcome to join us if you don't mind the drive. There are about 20 of us going so far.

Comment by Treymom321 on October 12, 2012 at 6:56pm: FTLW thanks so much. I honestly don't expect much mail from my SR or information when we see him. He is pretty independent so I appreciate the information you great ladies provide.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 12, 2012 at 6:39pm: Sundays they have about 5 hours of "free" time called Holiday hours. From 0700-1300. It's "free time" but they are of course instructed as to what "free" is. I do know that they may not take a nap and that if they have anything they need to catch up on it's best to have it done befroe you take any real personal time. They may attend Worship services of course. Write Letters (the only day they are "allowed" to do so in the first few weeks). Later on some are allowed longer time to take a shower. The first Sunday they do not have Holiday routine...too busy. The poor females do not get to shave their legs until the first Holiday routine. Males must shave every day..umm their faces not their legs!

Saturdays ,no real classes but they can practice marching, PT, study, clean, CLEAN. I have never been able to squeeze that information out of my Sailor!

Federal Holidays are treated just like Sunday's.

Comment by Treymom321 on October 12, 2012 at 6:28pm: Veteran Moms,

I read somewhere training is only M-F and there is no training on federal holidays. If that's true,what do they do on Saturdays or the holiday? So what did our SRs do this past weekend and Monday since it was Columbus day? Just curious. Thanks.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 12, 2012 at 6:03pm: SailorsMom- LOL

Is that kind of like "Dumb and Dumber". I asked my husband that once. "So, honey, which one is 'Dumb' and which one is 'Dumber'? Harry or Lloyd? "

Or is it supposed to be they DO something dumb and then DO something even dumber?!

Not that I am calling the PO or Mil "dumb".

I think I'm "in a mood"...LOL

Comment by Michelle on October 12, 2012 at 5:40pm: I still haven't recieve my husband letter yet either :( The wait is pure TORTURE but I'm pretty sure he's PIR date should be 11/30, he left bootcamp on Oct.4

Comment by SailorsMomShip12Div023 on October 12, 2012 at 5:26pm: Still no letter. Sometimes I don't know which is slower, the military or the post office! Sounds like there are lots of DIV 23. Counting down the weeks until 11/30/12.
